About Alexander
Alexander Pitaluga is a Florida LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. He works mainly with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and offers services for people with LGBT and addiction-related concerns. He conducts sessions in English and Spanish.
He uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions.

Sessions focus on short- and longer-term goals set with each person.
Clients can expect direct, straightforward conversation about what is happening and what changes are realistic. He helps people develop coping strategies for anxiety, grief, mood problems, and substance-related issues. He also addresses identity concerns, including gender dysphoria and sexual orientation matters.
His work includes attention to cultural and life-stage issues such as immigration, adoption and foster care history, aging and end-of-life matters, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. He brings experience with trauma, sexual assault, and post-traumatic stress and supports people coping with codependency and relationship structures like polyamory.
Sessions aim to increase understanding and build practical skills. People are invited to set goals and track progress. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Alexander uses a mix of evidence-based approaches in sessions. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and behavior. This helps when patterns repeat or when people want deeper understanding of long-standing difficulties.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new actions. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and social phobia because it creates clear steps to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for handling intense feelings and urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which techniques to try. They will adjust methods together based on what is working and what is not.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example shorter check-ins during busy days, sessions that avoid travel time, or using audio-only when video is not convenient. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep care consistent with everyday schedules.
